Roses in bloom on November 7. Crazy.

I feel compelled to say, about yesterday's post, that I am not a neat freak. I don't try to keep my room neat as a pin, oh no! Cleaning an already clean room wouldn't be very satisfying, now would it? Living life is a messy project, so I live, and then I clean, and if it doesn't get done, I don't sweat it. Also I don't own much stuff and live most of my life in a small space which makes cleaning so much easier. If I had lots of furniture or doo-dads, or a huge living space, cleaning could be a nightmare, an impossible task.

You know, my work takes me into some incredibly big houses and the first thing I think of is...man, I'm glad I don't have to clean this house. My second thought is always...I'm glad I don't have their electric bill.

A couple of blocks from where I live is a rose bush that has newly formed roses that are about to bloom. First we have cold blustery days with sleet and, yesterday, mild sunny temperatures. Today its clear and sunny though a bit brisk.

As for cleaning, its only necessary to clear the cobwebs from your brain to allow the circulation of energy, and thus, new ideas.

(Reya: this is not so much a comment as an e-mail-ish message... I finally updated! :) I had the post in mind for a week or more, but finally got around to putting it up there... I think we were thinking along similar lines about the turning of the wheel... Thanks for the nudge! Karen)

Great shots; ethereal indeed. And your previous post, well what can I say? I got into it with the pharmacy tech who thinks Obama and health care legislation will be the doom of the country. Since I was waiting for blood pressure meds, I suspect the encounter was not good for my health.

OH! The roses are absolutely transformative! Am trying to catch up today. I liked your consideration of the purpose of the stepmothers and sisters. It is true, isn't it? They were making heroines do seva and were leading them to a stronger path.

i'm with Butternut--company coming over is about the only thing that gets our place organized. And i think it would be wonderful to only have enough stuf to fill a small apartment....Listen, the more space you have, the more junk you seem to need and acquire.
